The next DC Animated movie has been announced and it’s another Superman film. And they’ve given it another name that has absolutely nothing to do with the content. It’s called Superman: Unbound, and it’s going to adapt Geoff’ Johns’ Brainiac revamp from a few years ago.

But really? Superman: Unbound? What does that name have to do with anything? Why not just call it Superman: Brainiac or something that actually has to do with the movie? DC’s marketing people need to be dragged out into the street and shot.

Supergirl feels my pain

Matt Bomer is going to voice Superman. I know him best as Bryce from Chuck, but he also stars in that show White Collar. Will he make a good Superman? Let’s hope so. John Noble, of Fringe, will be Brainiac, with Stana Katic as Lois Lane and Molly Quinn as Supergirl. You can learn more in this TV Guide article.

I never read the Geoff Johns’ story, but he had some neat ideas for Brainiac, as well as a great new visual. It looks like they’re going to carry that look into this movie. So I have hope that the adaptation will be interesting. I just really, really hate the name.

I’m still bitter about Chuck
